Circolo di Capolago

First of all: the beer-based cocktails were great & the terrasse beautiful. Unfortunately the staff doesn't speak english and therefore didn't seem too eager to serve us... They also forgot our sides and I have to say... our food was overpriced and very lame (though the burgers at the other tables looked very good. you should probably order only burgers there...) I was also disappointed due to the lack of vegan choices.

Nice pub with several tables. We went on New Year's Eve, so given the evening there weren't many people. The service was fast, the waiter was very kind. The food is good, we took two JohnnyWalker Burgers, the meat was cooked just right; as a side dish we took two portions of chips. Not being a beer lover, I had a coke and my husband a very good double red grimberger beer on tap. We ended dinner by having dessert, the beer misu and a berry cheesecake. We spent €64; for the quality of the burgers it deserves it.

Saturday evening dinner booked with thefork. Small, but convenient, parking behind the restaurant. The internal room is large and divided into two main rooms. Varied club and grill menu with a wide and excellent choice of accompanying beers. They range from appetizers, first courses, second courses and desserts plus bruschetta and pinse. I took a chopping board from the club to divide in two with an accompaniment of pinsa and fried gnocco and pinsa refill. If a cutting board is large and you bring a small basket of bread/dumplings/pinsa it is clear that the customer will order a second one and it would be unfair to charge them twice. It should not be overdone but it should be measured correctly. Very good cold cuts and cheeses on the platter, the gnocco/pinsa accompaniment needs to be reviewed in terms of cooking and consistency. Then he took potatoes and onion rings. Onion Rings: Described as 'ok for a side dish' then comes a huge and well filled basket of chips with rings, all good but not the expectation. Price more than correct. I would recommend paying more attention to the information and details of the service because the rest is perfect and we will return even without the fork.

I was at the Circolo di Capolago for a corporate event. The internal location is very nice, with a good number of tables and also an outdoor space. Parking is complicated. There is a space adjacent to the room, but all in all very small. The beers are very very good. I was able to try several and I liked them all. The food not bad, but not as good as the beers. The service, managed by young guys, was attentive, patient and kind and helped the evening to be a success.
